Macon Bigots Angry

The Mayor of Macon, Ga., the city that gave the world Little Richard, Otis Redding, The Allman Brothers and, er, Nancy Grace, has converted to Islam.

There's really only two reasons I mention it:

1. Macon rhymes with bacon, which lends itself to an easy and inoffensive joke (see here)

2. I was almost certain that the blogosphere's religious bigots and racists would not able to resist sounding-off about it in the non-sensical, semi-literate way that bigots and racists tend to do.

For your weekend reading (dis)pleasure, have a look inside the right-wing hate machine's "conversations" on the subject. (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.)

LOL. Actually, despite seeing some insensitivity I didn't see evidence of a right-wing hate machine at any of the links. And what is the deal with link #3....I didn't see anything there other than a cut and pasted AP story. Is the AP now on your list of hate machine sites? LOL some more.

Did you actually read any of the posts at FreeRepublic? Read the top of the page on link 3. Not the AP story, but the page labels.

Why are you anonymous?

Wow. I didn't know you had a blog. Last year I decided to pay more attention to local blogs, sniffed around CL but I didn't see your link. Just some pretty dormant blogs. Glad Monroe linked to you since you've been the most enlightening voice of this ME situation in the city as far as I can tell with my admittedly limited exposure.

Re: link #3....I read only the AP story and not the page label to which my attention has now been directed. I withdraw my stupid comments. Why am I anonymous? Fair question. If you suspect it's due to the fact that I'm a chickenshit, you might be right.

I didn't mean it as a dare. I was sincerely curious. Usually the anonymous posters are nasty and abusive.
